...) Overall, THE DESIGN CHECKOUT of this HP DESKJET F380 is likeable with easy to understand features. This category of my review is one of the reasons why this electronic HP device is generally awarded 5 star ratings on consumer sites. Rating: ++10/10 3. THE SET UP The story behind my experience of using this DESKJET continues to get deeper and interesting as I arrive at THE SET UP, in other words installing the HP printer. Carrying out this installation procedure is relatively easy, taking place over 15 easy steps of the "Start Here" manual and it took me approximately 20 minutes to complete.

Advantages: four gigabyts of ram! very fast, cheap, only slots into one slot
Disadvantages: not many, wont work with older operating systems
